I'm 16 and around 6'2 so would this bow be suitable for me and if not what would be some good suggestions?

No! Go to a sporting goods store that has an archery department and get them to size one for you! Unfortunately, you're gonna have to get an ADULT sized and ADULT priced bow!

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

This is a starter bow and sized for kids 7 to perhaps 14. A stature such as yours, would merit a bigger and bow with more resistance. Sorry, i don't know enough to make suggestions.

I don't know anything about the sport but I have the same a bow and I am 6'4 and I use it very comfortably.

This is a great beginers bow but I think your draw length would be too long, you would be better buying one to fit your draw length, bass pro or other bow retail shops like that can help you decide what draw length and what pound draw you can handle

You'll need a 56 in since your bow is 60 in. I have this bow. Basic rule on this type is 4 in shorter than the full length of bow. Have fun!

My 16 year old daughter plays this guitar, she's 5'6" and has little hands, I think it will work just fine for you.

This is technically a youth bow, however take into account the draw strength and the person who will be using it. There is a wide range of draw levels but I would make sure that the archer using it is able to safely pull on this prior to purchase.

That bow has interchangeable limbs at a reasonable price. He might start out at 35# and develop his bow strength, then get some 45# later. You can probably sell the first set of limbs easily. If you have not yet purchased this bow, you might consider the Samick Sage. I have both, and the Sage is much smoother.

I would recommend if you just want a bow to shoot at target. Not difficult to draw back and aim. I purchased for my 10yr old last year. It's really a beginners bow, not for hunting.

This is a good bow to start off with. My son is 11 and is a good size. He can pull it and hold it to aim and shoot. His older cousin which is 13 could not do the pull back. So for a beginner, yes its a good start. Technique...

Yes, a very good bow for a boy fo that age - I have 6 nephews and each has gotten one around their 10th to 12th birthday and could not be happier!

This bow in my opinion is strictly for youth. I am a bow hunter and I would not use it even if I got in a jam and needed one

I am 6 foot 2, 350 pounds. This bow feels like a rifle. I love it. I can use the sling to carry through the woods and it doesnt catch trees and brush. It is compact fast and accurate. If something ever happened to this bow I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one. If there is an academy sports near you go put one in your hands. You wont be disappointed.

Before answering , I think I need to say that this bow will not be adequate for a tall person, (over 5'10"). The draw length will not extend beyond 29".The string is quite good for an inexpensive bow. It should last several years depending on how you treat it. Have a bow shop check it after your first year. I have used this how for hunting, and feel like I need no other bow. It is an older design, but a good one. It will need to have the draw length set, and have a better arrow rest (Whisper Buscuit type) and also a peep site added. You will need good carbon arrows, and you will be all set. I couldn't believe what a great bow for so cheap. Before answering , I think I need to say that this bow will not be adequate for a tall person, (over 5'10").

this bow wuld be great for you. i have not measured the arrows but believe they are a regular length. My grandson is 10 and really likes it. the pull though is alittle stiff or tight but it is still new. I am very imppressed with the bow for the price.

I bought this for my daughter who was 8 last Christmas. It was perfect for her. It shoots 30 to 50 feet. It is a real bow, just sized for a child. Hold this helps.

If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older. If he is shooting a traditional type of bow like low poundage youth longbow without a Modern style arrow rest then go with less then 28" coz aiming with longer arrows is more difficult & ruins posture & learning technique. Although 27" is quite ideal for kids less than 10 years of age, for the bad quality of the fletchings on these arrows & taking into account that the arrows from this seller does not come in 27" I would recommend getting 27" arrows from Another seller. Hope that helped. If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older.

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

I don't think it would work well for someone who is 6'2". I bought this chair for my 16 year old son, and it works very well for him. He likes the comfort of the chair and the stereo. However, it is a bit too small for a big person.

I think it would be ok for a while for some back yard target practice. It a decent bow and can be adjusted up in poundage. My 10 year old handles it well. I guess it mostly depends on what u plan to do with it. If it's hunting is say no.
